Friday’s Fashion Crawl

October 2, 2017

For the past few weeks we have been in a tizzy at the Glam Squad because we have been honored with the chance to provide our hair and makeup services for RVA’s Fashion Weekend. With New York and London Fashion Week done and Paris Fashion Week beginning to wrap up, it is now Richmond’s turn to shine! Richmond Fashion Week started in 2008 after a group of VCU students banded together in an effort to show of the unique style that the city has to offer, (one of the reasons that I relocated here from Wisconsin all those years ago,) and ever since then the event has just gotten bigger and bigger.

In preparation for the show, Amanda and I put our glammies to the test and challenged them to create avant-garde looks that are a bit out of our usual bridal comfort zone. These makeup looks gave the stylists a chance to be creative and we wanted to see just how high fashion they could get. So, we set the timer and made it a little competition and the girls were off. 

We gave them a small guideline in terms of style for the look that they were to create but as for the rest, it was up to them. And I was in awe at just how amazing each one of the glammie’s models looked. As bridal stylists we all tend to gravitate more towards neutral colors when it comes to makeup because most brides want a look that is natural with just a hint of glam. So anytime we get to experiment with colors it tends to be something that makes us extremely excited. The looks that the girls created were just examples of what to expect for both the upcoming Fashion Crawl on Friday, October 6th and the Fashion Show that is taking place at the City Hall Observatory on Saturday, October 7th. 

While tickets for Saturday’s show must be purchased (click here) Friday’s Fashion Crawl is completely free to the public and we will be opening the Glam Squad Studios for the event! The Fashion Crawl is essentially just like a Bar Crawl but the focus being, you guessed it… fashion. The night will begin with designs by Azi Blas at Fresh Richmond at 5:30 pm and then moves to The Glam Squad Studio at 7:30 for our famous lip and lash bar and a fashion show at 8:15pm. You want to make sure you are one of the first 25 through the doors though because each one of those 25 people will be receiving free lips and lashes from our award winning stylists. The fashion show will feature styles from Ashby, TAILOR, and Trunk Up! And Belle Isle Moonshine will be serving cocktails, with all of that going on it is definitely the kick off to a fashion weekend that you won’t forget.
